I remember my daughter Deni coming along, and she was so pure and caring of everybody and everything. And somehow, this little being managed to get around all the obstacles - the gun turrets, the walls, the moats, the sentries - that were wrapped around my heart. My heart at that time needed her.

'Natural Born Killers' is really a misunderstood romantic comedy.

I remember my first run-in with cops. It took me really getting to hang, well after that, with cops who were cool, and realizing, ‘Okay, there are some bad ones.’ I ran into some bad ones in Columbus, Ohio, but they’re not all bad.

The government may change faces from time to time, but it’s not like we fight wars for democracy – we fight wars for capitalism and for oil.

Two boxes of Step Forward Paper saves one tree – that’s a real stat.

Sometimes I feel people think I live on a commune but I don’t. We are all solar, though. There are no power lines. It’s mostly farmers, so everyone who has tractors uses bio-diesel.

Everything I do, I try to think, ‘Okay, what are the ramifications?’ Like, with the clothes I wear, I prefer if it’s grown organically, because cotton – which is what’s used in most clothing – takes up 50 percent of all pesticide use.

I think, on a personal level, everybody, when you go through the checkout line after you get your groceries and they say, ‘Paper or plastic?’ We should be saying, ‘Neither one.’ We should have our own cloth bags.

I wrapped a movie called ‘Zombieland,’ in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character. With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie.

In the courtroom, it’s where a lawyer really becomes an actor. There’s a very fine line between delivering a monologue in a play and delivering a monologue to a jury. I’ve always felt that way – I’ve been in a lot of courtrooms. The best lawyers are really theatrical.
